Lahore – Panther Tyres Limited (PSX: PTL) has reported a spectacular financial performance for the first quarter ended September 30, 2025, with its net profit skyrocketing to Rs. 282.56 million. This represents a staggering 314% increase compared to the Rs. 68.19 million earned in the same period last year.
Earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter jumped to Rs. 1.68, up sharply from Rs. 0.41 in the first quarter of the previous fiscal year.
The company’s impressive profitability was fueled by strong top-line growth and significantly improved operational efficiency. Revenue from contracts climbed 11.2% to Rs. 8.92 billion, supported by higher sales volumes.
A key driver was the robust expansion in gross profit, which surged 45.1% to Rs. 1.34 billion. This indicates the company successfully managed its cost of sales, which grew at a slower pace of 6.8%.
The most impactful improvement was a substantial 33.3% reduction in finance costs, which fell to Rs. 337.57 million from Rs. 505.94 million last year, reflecting stronger debt management and lower borrowing expenses.
While operating expenses like selling and distribution saw an increase, the powerful combination of higher gross profit and lower finance costs led to a 631% surge in profit before tax, which reached Rs. 452.65 million.
